love.

"You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."
Dr. Seuss.

right now, i'm in love with sleep.
but i know that sometime [soon?]
i won't be able to fall asleep
because i'm in love.
everyone else has found theirs.
i'll just have to wait.
and maybe all that it'll take is
loving myself first.
and i think as long as i'm willing to understand that,
that this isn't going to happen tomorrow,
or that it could,
it'll be easier for me to sleep.
i just want to be able to sleep with someone arms wrapped around me
rather than a blanket.
but that'll happen.
i'll fall in love with someone who loves me back eventually.
